Why Snow in New Zealand’s Alps Turned an Alarming Shade of Red

During the summer of the southern hemisphere in 2019-2020, the mountains in New Zealand turned red. The new study explains why finally.

Researchers appeared to be reddish in Southeastern Australia after the massive storm of Australia, Australia, reddo-dust clouds and 4,500 tons of snow in the sea. Their works, in detail a learn In December last year, the widespread assumptions broadcast in geophysical research letters, the pollution warned that the pollution caused the ashes in Australia and in the future such events could be more often.

“In 2020, the media reports generally led to the sweep of red blanket in the mountains to the sea Australia’s destructive New Year Bushfires“Holly Winton, Te Herenga Waka-Victoria University at the University of Wellington, the University of Herenga-Victoria explained the environmental scientist statement. “But the red powder that causes dramatic color change really came well before the new year.”

Winton and his colleagues and his colleagues, referring to red pollution, pulling back the movement of the air masses in a timely manner, carrying out geocimgyal analysis of snow dirty, and relying on remote sensitive operations. Their results show that the red dust came from Southeast Australia and in late November 2019, New Zealand has arrived in South African Alps.

“The fresh snowfall quickly buryed the dust, but this surface coincides with the magnificent sky on New Zealand related to the snow, Australian bushes, this surface has been snowed,” he said. “Not surprisingly, the red mountains and fires were closed in media news.”

However, “The main driver of the glacial discolouration”, researchers, researchers, “2020 was a southeastern desert storm in the same type of meteorological conditions as New Year’s Bushfirs.”

The layers of the dust have a great impact on the mountains, because they reduced the ability to reflect the snowfall. Instead, the powder increases surface temperature and eventually added Winton, the melting of snow and ice.

In addition, “These storms are expected to result in large areas of climate change, which can also be managed with similar air samples,” said Phil Novis, research co-author and Manaaki Thaua Endcare research. “2019/2020 event has been at least since 1902, Aotearoa is one of the most dramatically in New Zealand and the most dramatic.”

The study serves as a red flag that dramatically changed the landscape of Zealand and to take into account the less environmental impact of the rider’s climate change.
